A-Rod was the better SS fielder than Izturis is this year, but Izturis still gives A-Rod a run for his money. I say Rollins and Izturis battle it out for the NL SS Gold Glove and Hinske and Rolen battle it out for the AL 3B Gold Glove. A-Rod gets left out this year due to his transition from SS to 3B.

I've said this many times before...actually...that Izturis is hands down the best defensive SS in the game. Renteria only won last year because he got pub for his bat.

To be honest, errors and FPCT cannot completely judge a player. See...some players are able to make more plays than others...some that wouldn't be charged errors if not made, since it's not expected that a player will make it. Izturis is one of those players that can make those plays. He's absolutely incredible.

Exactly. Fielding and Gold Gloves are the most subjective part of the game IMO. From awarding errors to determining the best fielder at a particular position there are so many variables it's impossible to determine greatness just from the pure numbers, you have to see the player play everyday to accurately evaluate a players fielding ability I think.
